Batch:B2 Roll No.: 16010423013 Experiment No.:07
Aim: Create GUI containing registration form which will accept input from the user and display
it on a button click. (Form should contain textbox, checkbox, radio-button, drop down menu etc.)

Theory
Swing:Java Swing is a part of Java Foundation Classes (JFC) that is used to create window-
based applications. It is built on the top of AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) API and
entirely written in [Link] AWT, Java Swing provides platform-independent and
lightweight components.
The [Link] package provides classes for java swing API such as JButton, JTextField,
JTextArea, JRadioButton, JCheckbox, JMenu, JColorChooser etc.
There are many differences between java awt and swing that are given below.
No. Java AWT Java Swing
1) AWT components are platform- Java swing components are platform-
dependent. independent.
2) AWT components are heavyweight. Swing components are lightweight.
3) AWT doesn't support pluggable look Swing supports pluggable look and feel.
and feel.
4) AWT provides less components than Swing provides more powerful components such
Swing. as tables, lists, scrollpanes, colorchooser,
tabbedpane etc.
5) AWT doesn't follows MVC (Model Swing follows MVC.
View Controller) where model
represents data, view represents
presentation and controller acts as an
interface between model and view.

Illustrate the use of collection classes, functional programming and GUI programming with
java.
Conclusion: (Conclusion to be based on the objectives and outcomes achieved)
the Java Swing registration form successfully meets the objectives by including various input
components (text box, radio buttons, dropdown, and checkbox) and displaying user inputs on
button click. It ensures all fields are filled, making the form functional and user-friendly,
achieving the desired outcome.
